[0029]

According to the present invention as described above, according to the first aspect of the present invention, the water adheres to the water and the surface of the rice washing which cannot be separated by the drainer due to the rotation of the rotating endless net conveyor. Since a part of the surplus water is power dewatered with the rotation of the rotating endless net conveyor and drawn out to the immersion tank,
Like rice washed with a conventional rotary water-drop type drainer, water that could not be separated by the drainer and surplus water adhering to the surface of the washed rice accumulate at the bottom of the immersion tank, and the water at the bottom is high and It is a practical and improved quality washing rice surplus water dewatering device that eliminates the drawback that steaming rice becomes uneven when steamed rice becomes low in moisture.

According to the second aspect of the present invention, since the rotating endless net conveyor is provided with the suction portion, surplus water adhering to the surface of the rice washing is forcibly forced by the rotation of the rotating endless net conveyor. And it is sucked continuously and is led out to the immersion tank with much less uniform moisture than conventional rice washing.

Further, since the suction is carried out through the rotating endless net conveyor, the rice washing rice surplus water dehydrating apparatus for sake brewing which exhibits excellent practicality with good yield without crushing the rice washing.
